Can't Sleep? It's Politics.
Can't sleep? It's politics.
I don't want to talk about politics on this podcast but here I am at 3am, high on edibles that were supposed to help me sleep. The US election? Trudeau accusing the government of India of murdering Canadians on Canadian soil? Do we believe him or not? Canadian media has now become 'state media' because what remains of MSM in Canada is government funded. Who should we trust now for our news in Canada?The war in the middle east seems to be spiraling out of control.
News will come to you, eventually, on whatever device you use. How do you deal with it? I seek it out from different sources for news, now primarily non-Canadian. I have a basket of news sources I use to develop a world view. You might think it veers left or right, depending. Make your own! But make sure your sources are truly mixed for the broadest but deepest multifaceted view of the world.
Also, avoid marmot videos on Reels or TkTok. It's a trap. They are not showing you the dark side: the marmot bites that will require hundreds of thousands of dollars in remedial cosmetic surgery.
This episode is all over the place. It's hard to make art when the world seems like it is going to blow up, isn't it?
We'll be back with a better planned episode next week :)
Notes!
My MSM news sources not in any order: BBC World Service, France24, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, Yediot, Jpost, Haaretz, CNBC, CNN, CBCnews, Globe and Mail, National Post. These days it seems to be advisable to get news about Canada from outside of Canada because MSM media in Canada is now state funded and/or state controlled, or it's really hard to tell.
The best podcasts to listen to about the US election are political operative pods like Hacks on Tap because you get to see how the political sausage gets made.
